Biography
Characteristics
The Baby Tank Family is part of a unique leveling system in the Shiren the Wanderer series. They're leveled up from the Bowboy Family, and level into the Popster Tank Family. They're similar in appearance to the Boy Cart Family, which also levels into the Popster Tank Family, however, they have different English and Japanese names, that family has 4 levels instead of 2, and they're not the only other family to level up into the Popster Tank Family. The other is the Sabotank Family.
